calculating

[lee123]

hello it's me again;

i am having a problem with calculating some totals in my project. I have fields on my form that need to be calculated to get a percentage in the end
I wish i could show you what my form looks like but don't know how to. so i will kinda show you this way:

there are 11 textboxes going across the form with lables

textboxnames are as followed

date, neworders,new,u sed,replacement orders,newcontr acts,shortinbun dles,total,tota lnew,usedtotal, totalpercent

what i need to calculate is this:

neworders + replacementorde rs + newcontracts + shortinbundles) in the total

to calculate the percentage i need:

usedtotal / total) in the totalpercent

how can i do this?

well this is what i have done:

Option Explicit
Private Sub TotalPercent_LostFocus()
    Total.Text = Val(NewOrders.Text) + Val(ReplacementOrders.Text) + Val(Newcontracts.Text) + Val(ShortInBundles.Text)
    TotalPercent.Text = Val(UsedTotal.Text) / Val(Total.Text)
    TotalPercent.Text = FormatPercent(TotalPercent)
End Sub
Private Sub txtNew_LostFocus()
    Dim TotalNew As Integer
    frmQuarterly.TotalNew.Text = txtNew.Text
End Sub
Private Sub Used_LostFocus()
      Dim Used As Integer
    frmQuarterly.Used.Text = totalused.Text
End Sub
Private Sub txtUsed_LostFocus()
 Dim UsedTotal As Integer
 frmQuarterly.UsedTotal.Text = txtUsed.Text
End Sub

but in the percentages i get a weird number, i want whole percentages? instead of 39.28% i would like it to round off to 39.00% or 40.00%.

hello there MTB or anybody else who reads this post. I have a database in access and i am trying to build the same one in visual basic 6 i have the same fields as i do in the access database but in access you have a event name "continuous form" but in visual basic you don't you have to create you own boxes. so I have done this. each of the text boxes i have mentioned in the previous post stands for 1 week of data i have to fill in so I have put 44 textboxes for each week of a month, 11 textboxes going accross then under them i have 11 more etc. so there is 4 weeks worth (when it's a four week month)

Then after i have filled these with the proper information i have two more textboxes one totals all the percentages and the other should give me the total percent of the whole thing. but i can't get these two text boxes to work right. how can i do this.

oops i forgot to add this in the last post. in my access database in the "control source" box i have this code in it:

=Round(Sum([totalpercent])/Count([date]),2)

how can i do something like this i visual basic. for the total percent of the whole thing
